Upon completion of this course, students will be familiar with the basic types of market structure and how firms’ competitive behavior is affected by the market structure in which they operate. They will have gained insight into anti-competitive strategies of firms and understanding of the rationale of government regulations and policies designed to promote competition and protect consumers.
